Fred Helberg, vs. Golden Gate Transit And Claims Management Inc.,
In this case, Fred Helberg, an applicant, is seeking reconsideration of a Joint Findings, Award and Order issued October 31, 2008, which found that he sustained an industrial injury on July 10, 2001 and an industrial cumulative trauma “through July 10, 2001” to his bilateral knees while employed as a diesel mechanic resulting in 543/4 percent permanent disability in one case and 181/4 percent disability in the other. The Workers’ Compensation Appeals Board granted the Petition for Reconsideration and rescinded the Joint Findings, Award and Order, returning the matter to the trial level pending the California Appeals Court’s decision in Benson v. Permanente Medical Group.
